-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- Police are investigating reports that Zahra Baker , the 10-year-old disabled girl who was killed in North Carolina , may have been raped prior to her death , according to police search warrants that were unsealed Tuesday .

The girl 's stepmother , Elisa Baker , reported Zahra missing on October 9 . Police announced that they found the girl 's remains on November 11 . She had been dismembered .

Search warrants obtained by the Hickory , North Carolina , police released Tuesday , give the first glimpse into the grisly events that could have led to the death of the freckled-face girl , who lost part of her left leg at age 5 to cancer .

According to one of the search warrants , a tipster told police that Zahra had been at a North Carolina home with two men and one of the men said `` he had done something very bad and needed to leave town . ''

One of the men was associated with Zahra 's stepmother but was not Zahra 's father , the tipster said .

The tipster also told police that Zahra had been raped by both men and that she had blood on her private area and legs , the search warrant said . The tipster told police that he got the information about the alleged rape from a friend who was told about it from his sister .

Police went to the home to see if they could confirm the fourth-hand information and found a mattress at the side of the house that `` had a large dark stain in the middle , '' the search warrant said .

The tipster said the men did not admit to killing the girl but did say that they `` might have hit her in the head , '' the search warrant said .

Police were also told by an attorney for Elisa Baker that the girl was dismembered .

In one search warrant , dated October 27 , police say they were looking for `` latex gloves used while the body of Zahra Baker was dismembered . '' They also were searching for `` white trash bags used to store body parts , '' the warrant said .

In that warrant , police were seeking to search the Hickory home that Zahra lived in with her stepmother and father Adam Troy Baker .

No one has been charged in the girl 's death .

Elisa Baker has been arrested on an obstruction charge after police said she admitted to writing a fake ransom note found at the family 's home in Hickory .

Besides an obstruction of justice charge for the ransom note , she is accused of writing worthless checks . Police have said she has been cooperating with investigators , including going with them to a search site .

Adam Troy Baker was arrested in late October in nearby Catawba County on eight charges : five counts of writing bad checks and three counts of failing to appear in court . Authorities said the charges were unrelated to Zahra 's disappearance , and he was later released on bail .
